Thanks for the input ladies!
I think, technically, the sweep is a method of inducing but it's not guarenteed and as far as I understand is only done if you're already showing progress and if you and baby will be safe to deliver soon. I've been measuring big all along and they think if I get to 40 weeks baby could be 10 pounds so they're not worried about her size at all.
I've felt pretty normal the last few hours :/ I was hoping to be crampy and than go to contractions and have baby very quickly! They say the sweep can cause labor to start within 48 hours and if it was the mucus plug I lost maybe there's still hope. I'll have to post if I DO go into labor that way you ladies getting it done soon can have hope as well!
Heres to hoping, good luck girls!! I'll post if i do end up going into labor today/tomorrow :)
Membrane sweep is to get induce?
Is that safe?
I'm going to see the dr 2marrow...I told him I want to get induce at 40 weeks and I really don't know what to expect, so I'm a little nervous here... :/
im having my membranes stripped next week at my 39 week appt for the 1st time. im so excited. fingers crossed it works!
